    yurimon, you seem to be under the idea that scientists "believe" everything absolutely proven and that there are no mysteries remaining to us. if this were true, there'd be no need for science. the fact is, we're busy observing, continually unwrapping the universe. if there were a god and we found him/it that data would be factored into our working model of the universe. i bet every one of them wishes it were that simple. but since we have found no evidence for god, he's not part of the model.

    • there's no belief, only observation.scarabin
    • until then its any bodies guess. considering we can only see .000018 of the universe we discovered so faryurimon
    • yeah, well that's why we need science. so we don't have to guess. intelligence ends when you just guess and accept your imagination's answer.scarabin
    • It means that its still one faith or another for that reason.yurimon
    • imagination's answer. instead we continually observe and test.scarabin
    • no, because faith assumes you have an answer you want to believe. science doesn't work like that.scarabin
    • thats exactly what i'm saying.yurimon
    • however if someone was to take a scientific theory. not proven. and believe it in the same manor a religious person does. how is it not faith?yurimon
    • not faith? which by default definition simply means belief without proof.yurimon
    • That's what you fail to understand, science is always based on proofukit2
    • Even speculative theories are based on real world observations and extrapolating from them. That's how science has always worked.ukit2
    • has always worked.ukit2
    • AGAIN, scientists are not operating on unfounded "beliefs". there is no scientific dogma, only observation.scarabin
    • < what ukit saidscarabin
    • you're stuck on this idea that scientists believe something without evidence, which is counter to the definition of science.scarabin
    • science.scarabin
    • How can prove something that you dont even know what your looking for any expectation of what it is?yurimon
    • reword that so it makes some sort of sense and i will address it properly. that's just gibberish matescarabin
